Help your employees get the most out of their benefit dollars
D&P Maximum Advantage® is a great way to promote diagnostic and preventive services — and avoid lost productivity from dental issues.
With this plan feature, members don’t have to forego routine and preventive care in order to “save” annual maximum dollars for more expensive procedures. By ensuring that diagnostic and preventative procedures don’t count against their annual maximums, D&P Maximum Advantage® leaves members with more maximum dollars available to cover costly, extensive procedures they may need, like fillings, gum disease treatment, root canals and crowns.
Plus, promoting routine care can reduce the need for expensive dental services in the future since missed oral examinations can leave potential risks undetected.
Here’s an example comparing the annual maximum dollars available for members with and without D&P Maximum Advantage®
| Two routine dental checkups including: exams, x-rays & cleanings | Without D&P Maximum Advantage® | |||
| $1,000 Maximum | Delta Dental pays: $350 | Enrollee pays: $0 | Maximum remaining: $650 | |
| With D&P Maximum Advantage® | ||||
| $1,000 Maximum | Delta Dental pays: $350 | Enrollee pays: $0 | Maximum remaining: $1,000 | |
With D&P Maximum Advantage®, members have more of their annual maximum left after getting diagnostic and preventive care.
